About

The Boring Menu

Features
Read full description

The Boring Menu is the app you open instead of the endless ones. It hands you one small, finished thing — a genuinely true fact, a slow breath, a tiny game, a rock that asks nothing of you — and then, on purpose, it stops. No feed. No autoplay. No reason to linger. That's the whole idea. Every session finishes. You put the phone down a little calmer than you picked it up, and you get on with your day. INSIDE, FREE • 10 tiny activities that all actually finish, and a calm daily menu that's a little different each day. • A rotating library of quietly interesting facts — each one checked and true. • An Anti-Streak that rewards using the app less, not more. It only goes up when you stay away. • A home-screen widget, and a one-breath pause before you open a tempting app. • Optional on-device Apple Intelligence that freshens some of the wording, marked wherever it's used. ONE OPTIONAL UNLOCK, ONCE Everything opens: 14 more small things (including all nine games), the full 500-fact library, a postcard you mail to your future self, and your pick of calm scene. Pay once — no subscription, ever. WHAT IT DOESN'T HAVE, ON PURPOSE • No accounts. No sign-up. No ads. No notifications. No tracking. No infinite anything. • Everything you do here stays on your phone. The app works offline; the one optional purchase goes through Apple and needs a connection just for that moment. It's a calm, finite, private little thing. Then it ends. That's allowed.
